“Another election is upon us and not unexpectedly, there is anxiety in the air. This is typical of any form of competition and contest, no matter how well prepared all contestants and regulators are. The forthcoming elections are very special and significant for the growth of our Democracy,” Buhari said.
SAHARANEWS – President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted that there is “anxiety in the air” as the country prepares to elect a new President on Saturday.
